That depends entirely on the purpose of your trip to Freiburg. If you want to enjoy Freiburg’s Old Town, a long weekend might be enough. Take one of the guided tours of Freiburg. If you enjoy shopping, you’ll find plenty of small shops here in the cozy “Gässle.”
However, if you really want to explore the Freiburg region and the Upper Rhine Valley, you should definitely stay for at least a week. Use this week to slow down and leave your car behind. Here, you can go biking and hiking. The trails are well-marked, and bikes are easy to rent.
There are many hotels, vacation rentals, and even campgrounds throughout the Upper Rhine Valley. We recommend that you book early, as demand often exceeds supply.
